The mere mention of this movie or its sequels The Last Samurai and Avatar fills your friend with supreme contempt for the human race forever. "The third act of this movie is so well-done," he reflected thoughtfully one night as you watched with desperation-in-the-throat despair as Tim Curry's commandeered deforesting machine sadistically demolished acres and acres of beautiful rainforest. Your friend then took it upon himself to give the monologue he gave the last time you watched the movie together: "We all contribute to the death of this planet just by living in houses and taking showers. I really ought to just move out into the woods somewhere. Just get a solar-powered generator and live, you know? Our culture is just disgusting." But luckily he stayed in the culture as he always decides to do after most other kids' movies changed his mind.
